[quote=Anonymous]It's about the parents' connections, not the schools. Uber wealthy well connected parents are still getting their kids in. But with the emphasis on FGLI and athletic recruits at many elite universities and colleges, there simply are fewer open slots. "Regular" wealthy and connected families don't have the advantages they used to. Nevertheless, Sidwell is still getting kids into Ivies at a far higher rate than the VA and MD magnet schools, despite the latter groups of students having tremendous academic accomplishments and sky-high test scores (plus few parents who use paid college consultants).
